Ticketfly builds powerful reserved seating engine with Scala and Akka

Yesterday we blogged about a new customer case study with Lucid Software, and today we’re excited to release another successful customer testimonial with the hugely successful ticket company, TicketFly. Ticketfly is an integrated ticketing and digital marketing platform for event promoters and venues, from standing-room-only clubs to festival grounds and arenas with reserved seating. The Ticketfly platform provides a full suite of integrated ticketing, social marketing, email and analytics tools that streamline operations and increase ticket sales.

This compelling use case illustrates how Andrew Headrick, Ticketfly’s Platform Architect, selected Scala and Akka to craft a powerful reserved seating engine (something that is notoriously complicated to build because of it’s rapidly changing state), that could easily scale, handle bursty and unpredictable traffic patterns and compete with online ticket scalpers. Read the full case studyhere, and head over to Ticketfly to check out their local venues and events.

The Typesafe crew is thrilled to share that Scala Days SF was just fantastic. A big thanks to all who attended. We were wowed by our awesome keynoters, speakers and volunteer staff, and it was great to feel the excitement and energy at the beautiful Fort Mason.

After an inspiring Scala Days (the next one is in Amsterdam), it's great to be able to shine some light on technologies dedicated to improving the workday of Scala developers. We recently talked about eight hot technologies that perhaps you didn’t know were built in Scala, and in the spirit of that we’re happy to highlight Takipi, a company that's making life for commercial Scala apps better. Branching out from Java, Takipi now helps Scala developers understand when and why their code breaks in production. For more details, we asked Josh Dreyfuss, who recently joined the Takipi team, to take us through it all. -Oliver White, Typesafe, Inc.
